Thankful Thursday

Thursday, October 17, 2013

1.  My father-in-law, Ed, whose birthday was Sunday.  He's smart, funny, generous, and hardworking...all traits I'm very grateful he passed on to his son. :)  He is a fantastic Granddad and I'm so thankful they (and we!) have him in our lives.  

2.  Free or cheap kids' meals.  Now that we have to buy two, it makes a difference to pay attention to restaurant specials when we do get crazy enough to dine out with the kids.

3.  Fall/winter clothes.  I changed out my wardrobe this week and it's nice to see some old favorites.  Especially since most of them fit for the first time in two years!  

4.  Having the entire house clean at one time.  Except for the basement.  And it only lasted one day.  But whatever...it mostly happened.

5.  Honest conversations about passing judgment, giving/receiving grace, and humbleness.  We had quite a time this week in Bible Study while studying the story of Gomer and Hosea.  This blog post about an interaction at Starbucks was also a great reminder to stop and think about where someone might be coming from and then respond with the love of Christ.  Not always easy, but always the best choice.  

Have a great Friday, y'all!
